Abstract: An amplifier includes an amplifying circuit and bias current circuit. The bias current circuit includes a beta matching circuit which employs a temperature compensated current reference to develop a bias current for the amplifying circuit. The beta matching circuit is connected to track the current gains of transistors within the amplifying circuit and to thereby provide a temperature compensated bias current to the amplifying circuit. The bias current maintains a fixed bias point regardless of temperature-induced, or other, variations of the current gains of the amplifying circuit's transistors.

Abstract: A person locating system (10) for detecting the unauthorized exit of a person from a monitored area (18) and locating the person thereafter, including a boundary transmitter (52) which generates an activation signal that is conducted across a conductor (16) connected to the boundary transmitter (36). The conductor (16) extends along a boundary of the monitored area (18) and transmits the activation signal within an activation zone (15) adjacent the conductor (16). The person to be monitored wears a portable module (22), which remains in a low power consumption, standby mode until the person enters the activation zone (15) adjacent the conductor (16). The portable module (22) receives the activation signal and enters an active mode wherein the portable module (22) transmits a high frequency locator signal (for example, 220 MHz). The locator signal is received by a locator receiver (28), which may be installed in a facility within the monitored area (18). The locator receiver (28) may also be portable so that the person to be monitored can be tracked down and recovered. In an alternate embodiment, the portable modules (22) are encoded with unique identification information which is transmitted as a part of the locator signal. The locator receiver (56) decodes this information and displays the identification of the wearer of the portable module (22) on a display (64).

Abstract: A decelerator device for obtains constant and maximal decelerating power whatever the engine speed, by controlling the pressure of the gases upstream of the valve by balancing the efforts at the actuator cylinder rod. The decelerator device (1) includes a balancing device (25) incorporated in the actuator cylinder (9), cylinder rod (12) dissociated from the piston (11) and a calibrated spring member (26) mounted between them. When the valve (7) is closed and, based on a counter-pressure predetermined by the spring member calibration, the actuator rod (12) moves back by stroke C' which causes the valve (7) to open by an angle prop generating a leakage of the exhaust gases. Beyond the. threshold, the valve (7) reopening angle varies according the exhaust gas pressure thereby ensuring a constant and maximal counter-pressure whatever the engine speed. The invention is applicable to combustion engines and in particular to industrial vehicles.

Abstract: A device and method for adding the perception of flavoring to a product that is consumed from a receptacle. The device is a cover for a receptacle, wherein a person can drink from a receptacle through the structure of the cover. The receptacle cover is scented with a desired fragrance. Furthermore, the receptacle cover is shaped so that a portion of the cover enters the mouth when a person is drinking through the receptacle cover. A person who consumes a product directly from the receptacle will bring the receptacle cover to his/her mouth. As the receptacle cover is taken within the mouth, the receptacle cover scents the air contained within the mouth. Simultaneously, the portion of the receptacle cover outside of the mouth scents the air surrounding the outside of the nose. By scenting the air inside the mouth and outside the nose, the nose is saturated by the desired fragrance and a more effective olfactory sense deception is obtained.

Abstract: (R*,R*)-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanol (Tramadol) is synthesized in a Grignard reaction in the presence of an additive resulting in a higher trans:cis ratio of product than is obtained in the absence of the additive. The Grignard reaction between 3 bromoanisole and the appropriate Mannich base in the presence of an amine or ether additive gives the amine product in an improved trans/cis ratio. The base is converted to its hydrochloride and recrystallized from a low molecular weight nitrile such as acetonitrile until a greater than 98% trans/cis ratio is obtained. Recrystallization from isopropanol gives (R*,R*)2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-1-(3-metboxyphenyl)cyclohexanol hydrochloride free of the nitrile solvent. A hydrochloride of Tramadol can be synthesized without increasing a ratio of trans:cis by including a step in which HCl is added to Tramadol base in the presence of toluene.

Abstract: A method of measuring motion of an object by magnetic resonance imaging including applying a pulse sequence to spatially modulate a region of interest of said object. At least one spectral peak is acquired from the Fourier domain of the spatially modulated object. The inverse Fourier transform information of the acquired spectral peaks is computed. The angle images are computed from the spectral peak. The angle images employed to measure motion of the object. The method may employ a SPAMM pulse sequence as the pulse sequence. The angle images may be employed to compute directly and automatically, planar strain in two dimensions or a full strain tensor in three dimension. The data may be useful in detection and quantification of myocardial ischemia and infarction. The angle images may also be employed to generate data equivalent to planar tag data automatically and can be employed to generate any desired tag separations. The angle images may also be employed to compute displacement, synthesize tag patterns and compute optical flow without requiring the use of regularization.

Abstract: A radio communication system has means for ensuring that power control of a communication channel has been established before the transmission of data. This is done by delaying initial transmission of a data channel (either at the start of a transmission or after a pause) until after the initial transmission of control channels. In one embodiment the transmission of a data channel can be delayed until adequate power control has been established. These techniques overcome the problem that data transmissions at the start of a data channel are likely to be corrupted if their power level is too low, or to generate extra interference if their power level is too high.

IPC: B63B21/00
Filed: 2021-12-15
Abstract: A docking system (1) has vertical rails (2, 5) and brackets (4) for securing to a lock wall. A floating structure (3) has a series of aluminium tubes (11) each extending through multiple resilient buoyant elements (10). Carriages (50) on the tubes (11) engage the rails, the carriages allowing the floating structure to rise and fall on the vertical rails according to water level. Bollards (20) extend inwardly to the dock wall at spaces of several metres. A boat such as a leisure barge can enter a lock without need to tie to the dock, the floating structure protecting the barge as it rises with the rising water level. It therefore allows safer and simpler passage of craft through locks, especially leisure craft manned by inexperienced people.
